Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a close advisor to Donald Trump, is increasingly intervening in global politics, particularly in Germany. Critics argue he is building a network of right-wing populists, as evidenced by his support for the AfD party. Musk’s social media platform X has transformed into a hub for right-wing disinformation, and he appears to share many populist views. His actions, which blend ideology with business interests, suggest he aims to position himself and X as central to this global populist movement.
